This week's WESPA Round-Up
WESPA Round Up | Happy end of term, WES Bands on the road and careers volunteers
Dear families,
Wow what a term! So much crammed in, I think it may be time for a sit down. Thank you to all those who have helped at events and behind the scenes. There are many unsung heroes at WES. The summer term has much to offer and we will be in touch with more news on International Evening, WESPA Awards, Y11 Leavers’ Celebration, and our work with school around careers and supporting departments.
Y10 Mock Interviews
On 3rd June, as part of the WES Careers program, Year 10s will be having mock interviews. We are working with the careers department and are looking for volunteers to help interview the students. This event is not industry specific and is more about helping the boys speak to someone they don’t know. There will be a full briefing of what to do and it will not require much of our time. If you are interested in helping, please get in touch with WESPA Trustee Alex Booij or me and we can fill you in.
WES Bands
Thanks to the amazing work of Youssef Boutayeb, WES DJ Tutor (although that really doesn’t get close to summing up how many amazing things he actually does), our boys have been invited to play at a number of events in Camden in the spring and summer. First up is EarthFest 2024 and we will be hosting a stage from 11.15-12.15pm on 20th April in Granary Square. So if you are already planning to come down as part of Eco Club, or fancy a fun morning out, come and say hello. Tickets are free and can be found here: https://www.earthfest.world/general-public-tickets/
Bands are open to all boys at WES and we are keen to support as many students as possible in getting started, not just in learning how to play together but also in preparing for gigs and if needed, releasing records and professional skills in the industry.
This is a time of many celebrations. My best wishes to those who celebrated Holi on Monday. Easter is also this month and Eid al-Fitr will fall during the break. Happy Holi, Ramadan Mubarak and Happy Easter - much peace, health and happiness to everybody. I am also very wary of April so beware April Fools’ Day on the 1st just in case your wonderful children kindly bring you a cup of tea made with Marmite…
Best wishes,
Al
